Of course you give every client your best, but I was a bit nervous when I learned that Steph was an artist and art teacher. Artist types tend to be incredibly kind, but we all know the conversations and thoughts that pop into our minds when viewing another person's work. We can't help but critique.
Thankfully, Steph and Craig were both incredibly laid back, and are thrilled with their photographs! I was able to photograph a ceremony in Carrollton for the first time, and enjoy the incredible evening at the Wilkshire Banquet Center in Bolivar, OH. The wedding was beautiful, focused on family,

I already knew the Kent State University Performing Arts Center was modern, beautiful, and a great venue for a wedding. However, what I found out for Andreina and Jake's wedding was that the KSU PAC is also most likely the best venue for a rainy Ohio fall day in terms of quantity and quality of light! It was wonderful to use the modern, bright, and open spaces inside the PAC for natural light photographs throughout the first look and portraits! White and silver finishes abound, with some rich wood and metal textures sprinkled throughout. This made for an incredible backdrop especially when the

Northeast Ohio Wedding Photos at Breitenbach Tool Shed
The weather in Ohio is interesting, especially considering weddings and any plans to photograph outside. However, a little cold and rain didn't stop Jacob and Sara from having an absolutely perfect wedding day! Arie Events was incredible to work with and had the entire day running smoothly and completely stress-free. Audrey and Erica at Arie Events did a wonderful job bringing Jacob and Sara's story to life through every detail and coordinating and planning an incredibly gifted team of vendors.
The Tool Shed was a wonderful venue for our
I had the opportunity to photograph Jani and Eric for maternity/couples portraits and wanted to push
myself to leave the digital cameras at home. I am so glad I stuck with all film! Jani is a portrait and
wedding photographer herself, and she brought incredible style along with her beautiful maternal
glow. Jani and Eric hadn't had photographs of themselves made since their wedding, so she was
excited to celebrate her relationship with Eric as well as the expectation of their third child. Their style
and connection fueled the entire session, and the light was magnificent for highlighting their beauty
as a couple and a growing family.
Film isn't necessarily what I get most excited about, but it completes my vision for the way I see and
photograph the love and interaction of couples and families.

I had the unique opportunity to attend the first ever Hybrid Workshop in Palm Springs, CA. This workshop is catered to photographers like myself who use analog film alongside digital for their work. We had the chance to work with 3 couples over the course of the week as well. These are some of my photographs from our first styled engagement. Film processed and scanned by the FIND lab.

Jordan and Patrick are two of the most authentic and awesome people you would ever have the pleasure of knowing. I am blessed to call them friends, and was incredibly honored to have the opportunity to photograph their wedding at the beautiful Rivercrest Farm wedding venue in Dover, Ohio. We enjoyed all the wonderful charm of the farm venue, with animals and gorgeous scenery all around. With a warm spell coming through, Jordan and Pat were also able to move the ceremony location outside where we had a beautiful fall backdrop and crisp, yet comfortable fall air. The styling and decorations were

Lindsey and Scott are two of the most authentic people I have ever met. They are in love, they work hard, and they love country living and style. They made the already gorgeous Tool Shed at Breitenbach Vineyards in Dover, OH their own, and even more beautiful in the process. They brought their country style and charm with them to their engagement session, and stayed true to themselves for their amazing wedding (and party!) at Breitenbach's winery. The vineyards at the Tool Shed made for an amazing
This time around we had an absolutely gorgeous day walking on the trails and kayaking at Sippo Lake for Jordan and Patrick's engagement photography! Last time we made the most of some crummy weather and were able to make some great night time downtown Canton photographs, but this time around we had the sun shining and time to play out on the trails and the lake! Jordan and Pat spend plenty of free time hiking the trails, hanging out at the library, and kayaking at Sippo Lake, so I was thrilled to include this personal location for their engagement session. Pat forgot to use hairspray, but Jordan
What do you do with two of the coolest people you would ever want to meet? Don't let rain stop you from the first round of their engagement session!
It looked like we were going to get rained out, and Jordan and Pat made some phone calls to get us into an amazing art collective for some photographs. Jordan is a huge fan of the flower art and we wanted to feature the art and personality of such a great space alongside their own personalities. When it came time to move on, we took to the streets (literally, but safely) for some photographs featuring downtown Canton, OH.
It's been a long time coming, but here are a some of my favorite photographs from Jared's session last fall. It seems like the girls get all the attention with high school senior photos, but I don't see any reason not to nail the shots with the boys either! I've known Jared for a while, and his dry, yet hilarious personality was out in full force during our shoot. You can tell he felt confident and he was awesome to work with throughout the time we spent together. This was actually my first ever senior photo session, and I had a blast.
Jared's whole family was awesome through the day of the
